Access Control
Vehicle and License Plate Recognition gives you the control to limit site access to only approved visitors and authorized personnel. Our remote surveillance gives you real-time threat detection at even the most remote locations and offers you the freedom to monitor your site with the surveillance solution that fits you best.
Security for Substations
Electric substations are critical infrastructure that play a vital role in the distribution of electricity to homes and businesses across the United States. As such, they are often targeted by criminals who may seek to steal valuable equipment or disrupt the power supply. Twenty20’s video surveillance, ASLI and access control solutions help to deter and prevent such criminal activities with its proactive approach, as well as protect the substation's employees and assets. Additionally, our core solutions can quickly provide valuable evidence for law enforcement in the event of a crime or incident at the substation. This can help to identify and apprehend suspects, as well as provide insights into how the crime was carried out.

Protect Critical Infrastructure
Twenty20 is a leader in protecting electrical substations and securing the power grid. Our video surveillance, monitoring, and access control solutions can help:
Active Shooter Location Identification
Twenty20's Active Shooter Location Identification System (ASLI) is the superior answer to legacy gunshot detection solutions.
Substation Security in Action
One of the largest combined natural gas and electric energy companies in the U.S. (providing service to approximately 16 million people) had identified a trend of increased theft during construction and expansion projects.
Twenty20 Solutions conducted a security audit to identify vulnerabilities at the facilities and rapidly deployed mobile video surveillance and monitoring solutions to immediately curtail threats. Voice-down functionality prevented one break-in altogether, saving the company not just the loss from theft but the damage from a forced entry.
